What good books have you read recently?

[Cosmonaut X]

I just finished Light in August, and I was already a huge Faulkner fan, but it was fantastic.

[Scribbly]

I just finished Cache 22

It was pretty darn good... at a loss as to what to follow it up with, really, I'm thinking something like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 'cause I haven't read that and its supposed to be pretty good.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

I'm reading Nicolo Machiavelli's The Prince.


Not sure if it's good yet, I'm only on chapter 4.

[Cain]

It gets better.  Get his Discourses too, thats about republics.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

In the beginning he said he wasn't going to cover republics, isn't that another book?

[Cain]

Yeah.  Seperate, but very interesting.  He comes across as cynical as fuck in The Prince, with good reason.  You have to be ruthless to be a dictator, but republics have a whole seperate bunch of rules.  Its most commonly known as Discourses, but thats not the full name.

[deet]

I read Nicomachean Ethics, by Aristotle..

Self-help from the BC days, lol. One-hundred, eighty pages of "Moderate yourself, and be patient."

What's the full name?

[Cain]

I cant remember.  

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

Ah well, I should be able to find it once I'm done with The Prince.

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Fizzwitz Glorypoop]

Well, didn't he write The Prince to impress that one dude? I could be wrong about that, though.

[Fredfredly ⊂(◉‿◉)つ]

He wrote The Prince to tell Lorenzo de Medici how to run florence.

also, in the one im writing, i have a neon coloured picture of Prince the singer on the cover...heh heh heh
